Paying for cheap flights

Published: 25 June, 2010

• I AM very disappointed.

Two weeks ago, we booked flights from London to the French town of Limoges with Ryanair.

The cost of £240 was paid by card.

At the airport, we were told we should have checked in online four hours before departure.

We also didn’t know we were only allowed a baggage allowance of 10 kilos per person.

My suitcase was the correct weight, but my wife was charged £35, despite having the same size baggage.

As we weren’t able to check in online (we are both over 60 years of age) we were each charged £40.

For the return flight home, we were online four hours before.

But Ryanair was not interested, and so charged us another £40 each, as we had not managed to check in online.

That means we paid a total of £435 for our travel.

That’s a shame.

I had been invited to France for a giant barbecue for 100 people.

When I told people there, they said they would never use Ryanair again.

Thank you, Ryanair, for your cheap prices.
